PR Newswire<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\n
\n LINCOLN, Neb.<\/span>
\n <\/span>, Aug. 6, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Nelnet <\/b>(NYSE: NNI) today reported GAAP net income of $181.5 million<\/span>, or $4.97<\/span> per share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared with GAAP net income of $45.1 million<\/span>, or $1.23<\/span> per share, for the same period a year ago.<\/p>\n

Net income, excluding derivative market value adjustments1<\/sup>, was $184.4 million<\/span>, or $5.05<\/span> per share, for the second quarter of 2025, compared with $43.9 million<\/span>, or $1.20<\/span> per share, for the same period in 2024.<\/p>\n

Included in the operating results for the second quarter of 2025 is a gain of $175.0 million<\/span> ($133.0 million<\/span> after tax, or $3.65<\/span> per share) related to the previously disclosed partial redemption of Nelnet’s investment in ALLO Holdings, LLC (referred to collectively with its subsidiary ALLO Communications LLC as “ALLO”).<\/p>\n

“We delivered a strong quarter, driven by continued performance across our core businesses,” said Jeff Noordhoek<\/span>, chief executive officer of Nelnet. “As we look ahead, we remain focused on delivering superior customer experiences and investing in our key areas: loan servicing, consumer lending, payments, and technology, with a particular emphasis on education. The recent transaction involving our investment in ALLO enabled the company to recognize a significant gain and we continue to hold a 27% ownership interest in ALLO.”<\/p>\n

Nelnet has four reportable operating segments, earning interest income on loans in its Asset Generation and Management (AGM) and Nelnet Bank segments, both part of the company’s Nelnet Financial Services (NFS) division, and fee-based revenue in its Loan Servicing and Systems (referred to as Nelnet Diversified Services (NDS)) and Education Technology Services and Payments (referred to as Nelnet Business Services (NBS)) segments. Other business activities and operating segments that are not reportable and not part of the NFS division are combined and included in Corporate Activities.<\/p>\n

\n Asset Generation and Management<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

The AGM operating segment reported loan and investment net interest income of $49.9 million<\/span> during the second quarter of 2025, compared with $35.8 million<\/span> for the same period a year ago. The increase in 2025 was due to an increase in loan spread2<\/sup>, which was partially offset by the expected runoff of the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) loan portfolio. The average balance of loans outstanding decreased from $10.5 billion<\/span> for the second quarter of 2024 to $9.2 billion<\/span> for the same period in 2025.<\/p>\n

AGM recognized a provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2025 of $11.1 million<\/span> ($8.4 million<\/span> after tax), compared with negative provision of $4.2 million<\/span> ($3.2 million<\/span> after tax) in the second quarter of 2024. Provision for loan losses in 2025 was primarily impacted by an initial allowance for consumer and other loans acquired during the period. During the second quarter of 2025, AGM acquired $143 million<\/span> of consumer and other loans.<\/p>\n

During the second quarter of 2025, the company recorded an additional allowance for credit losses and provision expense of $5.0 million<\/span> ($3.8 million<\/span> after tax, or $0.10<\/span> per share) related to certain of the company’s residual ownership investments in loan securitizations. The company’s estimate of future cash flows from the beneficial interest in certain private education and consumer loan securitizations was lower than anticipated due to increased loan defaults and prepayments within such securitizations. As of June 30, 2025<\/span>, the company’s net carrying value of its beneficial interest investments was $191 million<\/span>, and the company expects future undiscounted cash flows from such investments to be approximately $280 million<\/span>.<\/p>\n

AGM recognized net income after tax of $20.8 million<\/span> for the three months ended June 30, 2025<\/span>, compared with $18.5 million<\/span> for the same period in 2024.<\/p>\n

\n Nelnet Bank<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

As of June 30, 2025<\/span>, Nelnet Bank had a $827.6 million<\/span> and $922.7 million<\/span> loan and investment portfolio, respectively, and total deposits, including intercompany deposits, of $1.53 billion<\/span>. Nelnet Bank reported loan and investment net interest income of $14.1 million<\/span> during the second quarter of 2025, compared with $8.5 million<\/span> for the same period a year ago. The increase in 2025 was due to an increase in the loan and investment portfolio and an increase in net interest margin.<\/p>\n

Nelnet Bank recognized a provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2025 of $6.8 million<\/span> ($5.2 million<\/span> after tax), compared with $7.8 million<\/span> ($5.9 million<\/span> after tax) in the second quarter of 2024. In addition, Nelnet Bank recognized a loss of $1.7 million<\/span> ($1.3 million<\/span> after tax) related to changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, compared with income of $0.6 million<\/span> ($0.5 million<\/span> after tax) for the same period in 2024.<\/p>\n

Nelnet Bank recognized a net loss after tax for the quarter ended June 30, 2025<\/span> of $0.4 million<\/span>, compared with a net loss of $2.8 million<\/span> for the same period in 2024.<\/p>\n

\n Loan Servicing and Systems<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

Revenue from the Loan Servicing and Systems segment was $120.7 million<\/span> for the second quarter of 2025, compared with $109.1 million<\/span> for the same period in 2024. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase of private education loan servicing volume as a result of the conversion of Discover Financial Services and SoFi Lending Corp. loan portfolios during the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2025<\/span>, the company was servicing $516.1 billion<\/span> in government-owned, FFELP, private education, and consumer loans for 14.5 million borrowers.<\/p>\n

The Loan Servicing and Systems segment reported net income after tax of $15.2 million<\/span> for the three months ended June 30, 2025<\/span>, compared with $1.7 million<\/span> for the same period in 2024. The increase in operating margin in 2025 compared with 2024 was due to an increase in revenue and a decrease in expenses obtained from strategic cost management activities including efficiencies achieved with technology and automation.<\/p>\n

\n Education Technology Services and Payments<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

For the second quarter of 2025, revenue from the Education Technology Services and Payments operating segment was $118.2 million<\/span>, an increase from $116.9 million<\/span> for the same period in 2024. Revenue less direct costs to provide services for the second quarter of 2025 was $78.3 million<\/span>, compared with $76.7 million<\/span> for the same period in 2024. Operating margin has decreased in 2025 compared with 2024 as the company continues to make investments to support the growth in the customer base and development of new technologies.<\/p>\n

Net income after tax for the Education Technology Services and Payments segment was $17.9 million<\/span> for the three months ended June 30, 2025<\/span>, compared with $19.5 million<\/span> for the same period in 2024.<\/p>\n

\n Corporate Activities<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

On June 4, 2025<\/span>, Nelnet received cash proceeds of $410.9 million<\/span> from ALLO for the redemption of a portion of Nelnet’s voting membership interests and all of Nelnet’s outstanding preferred membership interests in ALLO, recognizing a $175.0 million<\/span> pre-tax gain. Nelnet’s voting membership interests of ALLO decreased from 45% to 27%. Nelnet will continue to account for its remaining 27% voting membership interest of ALLO under the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value method of accounting, with the carrying value of such interest remaining at $0<\/span>.<\/p>\n

For the second quarter of 2025, the company reported a net loss of $13.4 million<\/span> ($0.37<\/span> per share) in its solar engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) business. Since the acquisition of this business in 2022, it has incurred low and, in many cases, negative margins on legacy projects. The company has a few remaining legacy construction contracts it is obligated to complete, down from over 30 at the beginning of 2024. During the second quarter of 2025, the company recognized $12.9 million<\/span> in contract loss reserves that represent the company’s estimate of costs it will incur to complete the remaining legacy contracts.<\/p>\n

The company also recognized an impairment charge of $3.3 million<\/span> ($2.5 million<\/span> after tax, or $0.07<\/span> per share) in the second quarter of 2025 related to certain operating lease assets as it consolidated office space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n Share Repurchases<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

During the first six months of 2025, the company has repurchased 222,045 Class A common shares for $25.8 million<\/span> (average price of $116.28<\/span> per share), including a total of 183,554 Class A common shares for $21.4 million<\/span> (average price of $116.37<\/span> per share) during the second quarter.<\/p>\n

\n Board of Directors Declares Third Quarter Dividend<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

The Nelnet Board of Directors declared a third-quarter cash dividend on the company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of $0.30<\/span> per share. The dividend will be paid on September\u00a016, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September\u00a02, 2025.<\/p>\n

The company reports this non-GAAP information because the company believes that it provides additional information regarding operational and performance indicators that are closely assessed by management. There is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for the presentation of such non-GAAP information, which is only meant to supplement GAAP results by providing additional information that management utilizes to assess performance.<\/p>\n

\n (a)<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\n “Derivative market value adjustments” includes both the realized portion of gains and losses (corresponding to variation margin received or paid on derivative instruments that are settled daily at a central clearinghouse) and the unrealized portion of gains and losses that are caused by changes in fair values of derivatives which do not qualify for “hedge treatment” under GAAP. “Derivative market value adjustments” does not include “derivative settlements” that represent the cash paid or received during the respective period to settle with derivative instrument counterparties the economic effect of the company’s derivative instruments based on their contractual terms.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n \n <\/td>\n\n \n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n \n <\/td>\n\n

\n The accounting for derivatives requires that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments be recognized currently in earnings, with no fair value adjustment of the hedged item, unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Management has structured all of the company’s derivative transactions with the intent that each is economically effective; however, the majority of the company’s derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the change in fair value for the derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting is reported in current period earnings with no consideration for the corresponding change in fair value of the hedged item. Under GAAP, the cumulative net realized and unrealized gain or loss caused by changes in fair values of derivatives in which the company plans to hold to maturity will equal zero over the life of the contract. However, the net realized and unrealized gain or loss during any given reporting period fluctuates significantly from period to period.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n \n <\/td>\n\n \n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n \n <\/td>\n\n

\n The company believes these point-in-time estimates of asset and liability values related to its derivative instruments that are subject to interest rate fluctuations are subject to volatility mostly due to timing and market factors beyond the control of management, and affect the period-to-period comparability of the results of operations. Accordingly, the company’s management utilizes operating results excluding these items for comparability purposes when making decisions regarding the company’s performance and in presentations with credit rating agencies, lenders, and investors<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n \n <\/td>\n\n \n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

\n (b)<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\n The tax effects are calculated by multiplying the realized and unrealized derivative market value adjustments by the applicable statutory income tax rate.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table><\/div>\n
